#I wanna see them play uno so bad

[eggy-the-boy]

the idea of a portland row game night is so funny to me because i feel like it would get so chaotic.

Lucy is the kind of person to win without really trying.

George would strategize everything and win.

Lockwood would strategize everything and some how still lose.

Lockwood and Kipps would get so competitive with each other that they spend the whole time trying to one up each other. They usually both end up losing anyway but at that point they don't care.

Holly is just happy to be there and watch everyone around her implode. Like if they played Monopoly Holly would be the bank manager while ensuring there is enough tea and snacks to go around.

the Skull is banned from playing because he spends the whole time trying to mess with Lucy.

Im so glad you're writing for Curly bc I'm so obsessed with him rn!! May I suggest (if you haven't done them already) some soft/fluffy post burn hcs? Like finally seing him again after a long drive to the hospital, mentally preparing yourself for what he might look like. Curly being so afraid about how you'd react, and just breaking down when you let out an "oh, Curly :(" and softly place a hand on his cheek, so worried that you might hurt him by accident that it's hardly even a touch at all. Curly leaning his cheek into your palm, having been so scared to see you and now so desperate for your touch.

Life returning to a new normal after a while, prosthetics and PT, skin grafts, so on. Lying in bed with him and being so relived and happy when he gets a spark of mischief like he used to and tries to tickle or play wrestle with you. Him quietly asking questions when the laughter dies down. if you missed his lips, or the blond hair you loved so much that now hardly grew at all. Reassuring him that it didn't matter what he looked like, or what he could and could not do anymore. He's still your curly.

Sorry this turned out so long 😭 I can't get him out of my head!

I LOVE what you wrote 🙏🙏 I'll be going off of these, taking bits and pieces of your hcs and then putting them in here. Overall just gonna be fluffy post crash Curly hcs :)

Of topic, but the way some people in this fandom treat post crash curly makes me nauseous. Finding out that some of you wouldn't treat him like I would makes me wanna cry. Maybe I'm too empathetic or maybe I'm a baby back bitch, either way, I'd care for this man so much. Y'all don't understand how much I love him.

Tw/cw; none!! One curse word but that's literally it (I think)

Not proofread

Extremely sensitive to touch for the first few weeks. I feel as though curly would be in incredible pain, but would try his best to keep your hands touching his cheeks, face, body in general. He'd even go as far as to whimper at how bad it hurt, yet still enduring it because he needed to know you still loved him.

He'd be so happy to see you anytime you were around. Just like pre crash, but it was more special. It got to the point where you would take off work for weeks at a time just to be with him, just so you could see him happy.

After the first two months of agonizing pain, you'd start touching him more. Not sexual, obviously, but just getting more physically affectionate. You'd be able to hug and kiss him goodbye, and hold on to his arm as you talked with him.

Speaking of talking, he wouldn't be able to, so you would talk for him. Basically telling him something, then answering any questions he may or may not have. You've known him long enough, you know how he'd react and question things, so it was practically a no brainer for you.

Now that he doesn't feel as much pain as he used to from your touches, you'd begin sleeping with him. NOT SEXUAL!!! Just cuddling up next to him in the hospital bed, laying your head on his shoulders and kissing him goodnight. Just like how you used to.

Eventually he'd start getting prosthetics, and aside from the physical therapy he's usually getting, you'd bring board games and playing cards so he could learn to use his new hands while still spending time with you.

Curly used to kick your ass in uno and honestly he still does. The trembling in his hands would slowly go away over time, and you were helping him with that much more than his physical therapist was; because at least he wanted to actually be around you.

After months and months, he'd finally be ready to take home. New prosthetics and a bunch of skin graft surgeries later, he's in good condition again. Not perfect in his eyes, but it is in yours.

He wouldn't be able to work, but Pony Express sends him checks as if he was. He gets enough from them, you could quit your job, but you don't want to be dependent on them. So you keep working.

Getting home from work is your favorite part of the day, having Curly be so happy to see you makes everything so worth it.

Your home life goes back to normal with a few exceptions, but nothing too drastic. Curly being in a wheelchair and still not being able to speak, but it's nothing you can't handle. You love him, you're willing to make sacrifices. He'd do the same for you, and you know that.

Bonus content; if you guys were married before the crash, once he got his prosthetic hands, he'd have you help him make a little beaded necklace for his ring to go on; that way he could still wear it :) he'd never take the necklace off once it's done

A/N; I've been pretty busy recently so sorry for the delay on requests; I have a lot of ideas for them though so hopefully they'll be out soon

CelebGossip: Battle of the Ex’s! Y/n L/n and Margarida Corceiro were spotted having a heated argument in a club in Portugal. Y/n was at the club with some of her friends, who also happen to be acquaintances with Magui. It is believed that Joao was the one who introduced them to Y/n. According to bystanders, Magui saw Y/n and started making sarcastic remarks about her friendship with Joao. The two were later seen engaging in a heated discussion with wild gestures from both sides. Sources say that Y/n soon left the club. It is still not clear exactly what the exchange was about, but all we can say is that we’re eagerly waiting for their next encounter.

genshin men voicelines about you

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•

pairing: gn!reader x kaeya / diluc / thoma / ayato / tartaglia / ayato / albedo / itto / kazuha (separate)

a/n: xiao bonus at the end! could not think of anything that wouldn’t feel contradictory to his other voicelines, but maybe i’ll make a part 2 with some other men i missed + eventually with the girls. sorry for anything ooc bc i haven’t played genshin in over a year 😛

cw: blood mention, itto is a loser

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•

KAEYA

Oh, [name]? They’re many things, certainly. Dependable, attentive, easy on the eyes - ah, but I can't say too much. Is it so bad I want to keep something precious for myself?

DILUC

You’re asking about [name]? Why is that? …you’re curious about our relationship? I thought I made it obvious that they’re my partner—not for business, but romantically. I like to keep my personal life, well, personal, so forgive me for not divulging too much information.

THOMA

I was actually about to go see them right now! It’s hard for me to get some free time, but whenever I do, there’s nothing better than spending it with [name]! No matter how tired I am, I always feel recharged right away when they’re around, and then I can work even harder!

TARTAGLIA

Do you think [name] would like this necklace? Or maybe this bracelet? How about both? Maybe I should get these in different colors, too. Wait, I think I have enough mora on me to buy the entire stand—what? Why are you giving me that look?

AYATO

A day polluted by meetings with people I do not have the energy to care for, futile attempts at gaining power from my opponents, endless bartering… my, I hate to spoil the mood, but I do need a refresher. Pardon me as I send a servant to fetch my beloved [name] for me. I won’t be long. Once I see their face, we may go back to our discussion.

ALBEDO

[name]? Yes, they’re my partner. …Why do you look so surprised? I know I have said maintaining relationships is difficult, but they are very patient and willing to meet me halfway. I also cannot deny my attraction to them. It doesn’t affect my research whatsoever. Rather, their affections motivate me to research something new everyday for conversations with them. …Perhaps I am also meeting them halfway.

ITTO

What? You surprised a stone cold gang leader like me can score a hottie like [name]? Make this a lesson to never doubt Arataki “numero uno novio” Itto! Well, uh, I gotta admit, they are kinda outta my league… H-Hold on, why do you wanna know so much? You trying to find my weak spots or something? No… you couldn’t possibly… be trying to steal them from me?! Oho, you’re messing with the wrong gu- wait, get those beans away from me!!!!

KAZUHA

If I were to pick between losing my voice or losing [name], may the earth be granted my silence. If I must bleed out for thousands of years for even the slightest chance to lay beside them, may the blade of the sword be sharp. If granting them an eternal life of tranquility and happiness meant sacrificing my own life, my dying breath will be their name.

bonus:

XIAO

You Make It Easy

This is really similar to a blurb I saw last night but I wrote this early yesterday so….

The day you and Ang decided to tell the cast and crew at Smosh, you knew she was going to sneak it into every shoot. Really just to fuck with you. She knew if she played her cards right she could win any game, get you to laugh, blush, forget what you were saying, and you saw it in her eyes. It became a thing. People at work knew it was happening.

"You guys really waited for me, and then just took me out!" Angela waved her cast around for emphasis, the whole table laughing at how fast she lost UNO. "AG at least, we waited?" You and Courtney both puppy dog eyes at her, Arasha staring at Angela, waiting for her next move. Keith was already on it, "This is the part where Angela flirts with Y/n, she blushes, and everyone laughs at Angela's joke." Keith deadpanning at the camera. Angela was offended at Kieth exposing her newest bit like that. She went from feral guinea pig to cool as hell when she started flirting with you on camera. "Hey now!" Courtney slapped the table, "It's cute! Okay? Y/n absolutely melts and Angela gets that dopey look in her eyes!" Everyone laughed and moved on. What no one saw was Angela asking Keith if she should stop or tone it down for the sake of everyone. Keith hugged her, "Angela if I had an issue with your comedy I would come to you about." High fived her good hand and winked at her.

This time, it wasn't so sweet, it was alright hilarious. Angela was sitting on a stool along with Courtney, Ian, Chanse, and Amanda. You were waiting for your turn trying to think of literally anything, "Y/n! You're up!" Kiana called from behind the cameras. "Fuck it." You grabbed the first prop you could and walked out. You looked down at your hand to find Angela's phone, why was it on the prop rack? Great question! Your eyes went wide and you knew exactly what to do. You opened the camera and squatted awkwardly, filming them on the stools, "Wait could you do that again? It was really funny! I wanna put it on my Instagram story!" You moved closer to her, almost in her face. Courtney spitting. Angela held it in by avoiding eye contact but the second your eyes met, she lost it. Water flying directly onto your shirt, pants, hair, and her phone, "AG! You fucking spit on me!"

There was a beat, you swear you heard The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly playing. You saw the gears turn in her head, she made direct eye contact and said, "You act like it's the first time." Dead serious, straight face, and just stares at you as everyone loses it. Ian, Chanse, and Amanda all spit. The cast in the back comes walking out dying. Shayne is off-camera screaming. Your face goes bright red, your brain short-circuiting not knowing to laugh, run, or shoot back at her. You eventually give up, finally breaking eye contact and chuckling loudly. Your ribs hurt from laughter. Angela just sits on her stool, smug as hell.

After the shoot, Amanda walks up to the couch you were lying on giving you the cool mom look. You hid your face with your hands feeling very shy about Amanda knowing your sex life. She has such mother energy to her that just, made you feel so nervous about this. "Now, Y/n. I learned something very interesting about you today." She sat down at your feet. From behind your hands, you responded, "Yep." She tapped the back of your hand, "I can't hear you." She was fully accepting the bit at this point, trying anything to get you to take a deep breath. You moved your hands finally seeing the mom look she was wearing and laughed loudly. Amanda relaxed her posture and uncrossed her legs, fully becoming Amanda again. "No seriously how are you feeling?" She grabbed your ankle, "Angela is somewhere freaking out that she crossed a line with you and HR." Your heart dropped and you sat up, "Where is she?" You were on your feet Amanda following behind you as you walked.

Checking room after room, closet after closet until you finally found her outside sitting against the building. Amanda stayed inside but stood by the door. Angela saw you approaching and used her hand to brush away the dirt from the ground beside her. You smiled sadly at the action and plopped down beside her. Pulling her head onto your shoulder and hand into yours. She sniffled from your shoulder, "I'm sorry." You kissed her temple, "You don't need to be. It was funny. If it was an issue I would've lost it and silent laughed." She hummed. You rubbed her hand with your thumb, "And no one from HR or Ian or Zoe is looking for you. They would've said something during the shoot." She sighed, "Yeah. I just take things too far sometimes." You squeezed her hand, "You're in your head love. Everyone takes things too far once in a while, we're human. I wouldn't say it's something you do. You don't have to think that about yourself." She sniffled. There was a comforting silence.

After a few minutes, Amanda stuck her head out the door, "Hey, I don't want to interrupt but they're ready when we are. Kiana said no rush." You smiled and thanked her. She nodded and gave you the 'how is she look?', you smiled and mouthed 'she's okay'. She closed the door and went to grab both of your phones, water bottles, and a snack for Angela. Anglea picked her head up and looked at you. She took in the warmth of your gaze, how your hair was slightly moving with the wind, and how radiant you are. "Thank you for always knowing what to say." You smiled wide, "You never have to thank me, you make it easy." She pressed a sweet kiss to your lips and gave a look so full of love she didn't have to say it. "I love you too."

hmm... kww playing uno?

I don't actually know how to play uno. can you cheat? idk but I think if anyone could, it'd be wifies. kww game night chaos for my beloved crab 💕

Word count: 322

It's usually a bad idea to play a game with Ken. He's stubborn and competitive and also willing to bite if it comes down to it. But this is also what makes it a really, really good idea to play against Ken, because winning him pisses him off like nothing else.

“Uno!” Wifies yells.

“Fuck you!” Ken screeches.

Wato groans, three cards left in their hand. Ken has about half the deck in hand.

Card counting is all about math. Wifies is really, really good at math. He's also an asshole when he wants to be, and Wato just cooked him in Monopoly. Capitalist bastard. So now he's ruining both Wato and Ken's night.

“There's no way you're not cheating somehow,” Ken says, pointing an accusatory finger across the table at Wifies, tail lashing and teeth bared. “I will strip you down, do not test me.”

“Buy him dinner first Ken, jeez,” Wato says.

Wifies fans his fingers out, wiggling them. His sweater sleeves slide down innocently.

“He's won five consecutive rounds! It's not possible!”

Ken drops his cards onto the table and stalks over. Wifies scooches his chair towards Wato, who drapes an arm over the back of his chair as soon as he's close enough.

“Wato, I think he's gone insane,” Wifies stage whispers into Wato's dark green ear, grinning wide.

“I'm losing too y'know,” Wato says, turning to look down as Wifies presses into their side to escape Ken. “I really should be on his side here.”

Wifies flutters his lashes at Wato as Ken’s nails hook into his sweater and tug.

“Wato, save me!”

“Maybe I wanna see you sweaterless too.”

“This is about integrity! Not flirting!” Ken yells.

“That's barely flirting,” Wato waves off as Wifies is manhandled out of his sweater through yelps. “Another round?”

“Yes,” Ken hisses, ying-yang sweater in one hand and Wifies's ear in another.

Wato snorts and begins shuffling the cards again.

oopsie daisy 🌼

The annoying sound of Felix’ alarm was disturbing the silence of the late afternoon. With eyes closed he searched for his phone and shut it off. A deep groan escaped his lips, followed by a sharp pain in his head.

“Why did I drink that much”, he scolded himself.

Yesterday’s party got out of hand quickly ��� what should have been an intimate gathering with some close friends at Changbin’s turned into a massive bash. Felix tried to remember last night’s events, but his mind went blank for the most part. Anxiety formed in his stomach as he did not like to feel helpless, out of control.

He heard a knock on his door and flinched in pain.

“Can I come in?”

It was Chan.

“Yeah, sure”, Felix answered in a deep, raspy voice.  

His friend opened the door with a big glass of water and headache pills in hand, already knowing that Felix would need them.

“Here”, he gave them to his younger friend.

Felix had trouble sitting up as his head felt dizzy and his stomach seemed nauseous. He gathered his remaining strength and gulped down the water, hoping to feel better quickly.

“Do you have any memories of last night?”, Chan asked cautiously.

Instantly, the anxiety in his stomach grew bigger. Felix shook his head, too nervous to ask what he had done.

“Do you wanna know?”, Chan offered politely.

Felix took a deep sigh, trying to calm his nerves. “I don’t know if I want to?”

“Oh, trust me. You do want to know.”, Chan chuckled amused.

“Okay”, Felix sighed in defeat and curled into a ball while hugging his plushie. “Tell me what happened last night.”

“…yeah, and then you vanished into the kitchen and played UNO for hours. Changbin told me that you downed a shot each time you lost, so apparently you drank a lot. And after that you walked around whispering “Wakey wakey” into the girls’ ears, going as low as you can. I saw you run around laughing manically and trying to escape many girls that night. Oh, and after your little striptease dance break you spilled your drink all over your chest and ran into the bathroom.”, Chan re-collected.

Felix was embarrassed but so far, he didn’t do anything horrendous.

“And after that you came running to me, all nervous and agitated and you muttered something about kissing y/n.”

Felix shot up alarmed, instantly regretting it though as his head was still pounding heavily.

“I did what??”

“Yeah”, Chan confirmed in a reserved manner.

“I kissed y/n? Lee Know’s girl y/n???”

Panic arose in his body as he could not believe it.

Did I really do that? Why? What was I thinking?

“Don’t you remember anything at all?”

Felix shook his head ashamed.

“No, not a single thing.”

Chan sighed. “Well, do you like her?”

Felix’ eyes widened in surprise.

Like her? Do I like y/n? Is this what this is?

“I mean I like her as a friend. As a person. But she is Lee Know’s girlfriend, and I never saw her another way. Shit, Chan, I fucked up. How do I tell him?”

Felix already envisioned the worst. It was bad enough that he had kissed his friend’s girlfriend, but it was even worse since it was Lee Know. The unforgiving, dangerous menace Lee Know.

“I don’t think you have to worry about that, Lix.”

Felix got up, entirely ignoring the condition of his body.

“What? Does he already know? Did he see us?”

Felix was on the verge of breaking down – he’d either cry or vomit or do both, his nerves were getting the best of him.

“Nah, but you kind of kissed him, too.”

“What????” Felix' deep voice turned into a high-pitched one, each shock making it even more shrill.

Chan laughed amused.

“Yeah, that was kind of the highlight of last night. You came up to me and explained that you kissed y/n and you felt so bad about it and didn’t want Lee Know to be mad at you, so you walked up to him and kissed him as well. In a room full of people might I add.”

Felix clasped his hands over his head, bewildered and confused.

“You’re fucking with me, right? Is that some cruel joke? Please tell me Seungmin is standing behind the curtains and filming this. Please, Chan.”

Chan ruffled through Felix’ blonde hair and flashed him a warm smile.

“It’s real, Lix. Why don’t you check your phone if you don’t believe me?”

Chan got up and left, leaving Felix alone with his thoughts.

My phone..

Felix searched his bed, shuffling aside pillows and plushies until he finally found his phone and turned it on again. He received a lot of messages after leaving the party but there were only two that caught his attention.

What the fuck did I do?

[peachhcs]

will spending the new years with blarie and mack and actually the couple is really good at not making will feel like a third wheel and he really appreciates it

they love will so much and will lovesss hanging out with them. i know it’s not new year’s anymore but i just finished this little blurb :)

au masterlist

“will you put this up, you’re tall,” blaire motioned the blonde over to where she was trying to hang new year’s decorations.

“hey, i’m tall,” mack argued from where he was trying to blow balloons up.

“yeah, but you’re busy. will’s not doing anything,” the dirty blonde raised he eyebrow as the the hockey player came over to help pin the tac into the wall.

“ha! take that mack. i’m tall,” will taunted making the brunette roll his eyes.

“we’re literally the same height?”

“yeah, but i’m tall according to blaire. how does that make you feel?” the blonde smirked while mack just didn’t answer. blaire laughed though.

“i see i started some friendly fire.”

“it’s not even fire because we’re the same height,” mack mumbled.

“once the balloons are done, that should be it. i’m so excited for the new year,” blaire clapped her hands together as her eyes scanned the walls of all the decorations she went crazy at hanging up.

“yeah, it hasn’t been half bad. 2025 should be fun,” mack agreed, knocking one of the balloons at will’s head. it bounced off his head and the blonde glared at his friends.

“dude.”

“that’s for thinking you’re taller than me.”

“you said there was no fire!” will exclaimed but mack just shrugged and helped hang up the balloons where blaire wanted them.

it was just the three for new year’s but blaire still wanted to make it special because she loved decorating in general. will got eklund to agree to buying them a few drinks in return for cleaning his stall out. it was a pretty worthy trade. he knew samy was in ottawa with everyone tonight and he figured it was getting close to them going out. the blonde missed being with them for new year’s, but based on blaire’s excitement and mack struggling and failing to hang up the balloons, he knew he was gonna have a good time tonight.

“what’s mrs. smith up to tonight?” mack teased and will flushed hearing “mrs. smith” knowing he picked it up from gabe and ryan a few weeks ago.

“she’s hanging out with all the guys in canada. she said they’ve been doing really well in the tournament,” will flushed.

“i’ll give you your new year’s kiss smitty, don’t worry,” mack winked making blaire giggle.

“might as well considering how close you guys are,” the girl smiled.

to pass the time, the three decided to play a game of uno, but to make it a bit more fun anytime someone got a draw 4 they had to take a shot. mack was doing the worst by far, already on his fourth shot when he got another draw 4. will and blaire snickered.

“guys i can’t take another shot. i’m already buzzing,” the boy frowned.

“wow, thought you had more in you mack,” will joked a bit but his words made the younger brunette push through and take his fifth shot before he drew four more cards.

“how about we start replacing your shots with water. i don’t want you throwing up,” blaire compromised and mack quickly agreed. she got up to get some water for her boyfriend while will just snickered.

“light weight,” he mumbled earning a punch on the arm.

“you’re not any better!”

“hey, i can hold my alcohol. you’re the one who pukes everywhere,” will shrugged and the boys stopped bickering by the time blaire came back with a large glass of water for each of them.

“thank you,” mack grinned and chugged half of it.

the three continued on, blaire and will taking a few more shots before calling it quits because they didn’t wanna get too drunk. it was 9 when will’s phone started buzzing and samy was calling him. he was guessing it was new year’s where they were, so he quickly answered.

“HAPPY NEW YEAR!” samy screamed into the phone and then there were quick flashes of everyone’s face in the frame where they yelled something incoherent.

“we’re living in 2025 already smitty! we’re in the future,” ryan mumbled, definitely drunk which made the blonde laugh. he quickly showed the camera towards mack and blaire who eagerly waved.

“we’ve got 3 more hours here. how’s ottawa?” will asked and samy’s face came back into frame.

“it’s soo good, will. i wish you were here. we miss you. we wish you all were here!” samy said to blaire and mack too.

“how drunk are you?” mack chuckled, leaning into the frame.

“i’ve had..only 2 drinks so far. i’m not that drunk. anyway, i just wanted to wish you a happy new year from canada. i love you. i miss you. i’ll see you soon hopefully,” samy kissed the camera a hundred times making a blush rise to will’s cheeks.

“i love you and i miss you too. have fun, be safe,” he said.

“of course. have fun together!” and then they hung up.

“you guys are my otp,” blaire grinned as she cleaned up the shot glasses, dumping them into mack’s sink.

“what’s otp?” will wondered.

��one true pairing,” mack and blaire said at the same time. “jinx!” they both yelled and then laughed.

“how do you know that and i don’t?” will poked his friend’s arm.

“because i’m cultured,” the younger brunette shrugged.

“wow, okay,” the blonde rolled his eyes.

“you guys are honestly the cutest ever. it’s what mack and i aspire to be,” blaire came back in and tussled her boyfriend’s hair. he scrunched his nose up, waving her hand away.

“i’m glad to hear we have fans,” will grinned.

the three took it a bit easier and played uno without taking shots. so far blaire had the lead with the most wins. somehow, she was smoking both boys with luck or skill, neither of them really knew.

will was genuinely enjoying spending time with the two. they acted like an old married couple more than anything and not that the blonde minded if they were affectionate with one another, blaire and mack refrained because they wanted will to feel included tonight knowing he wasn’t getting to spend it with his other friends on the other side of the continent.

when 11:30 hit and the boys were losing steam blaire decided they needed to have a dance break to get their energies back up. she put on some old 2010s music that the frats always played and pulled them up to jump around with her.

rihanna’s umbrella began playing. blaire tried teaching them tom holland’s lip sync battle dance, but neither will or mack were very coordinated to learn the steps, so blaire just did it for them instead.

“how the hell do you learn those steps so easily?” mack watched in amazement.

“it’s the figure skater in her,” will chuckled.

when blaire finished the boys clapped for her. she giggled, doing little bows as the next song came on. “damn, that was impressive. you’re impressive,” mack went to peck her lips.

“thank you. i’ve known since i was like 14 when it came out,” she giggled

the new year in san jose got closer. mack put on the feed happening in downtown los angeles while blaire stuck the new year’s hats on their heads. she also made sure to snap a few photos of the boys posing with one another in all of their new year’s getup.

“three minutes!” blaire exclaimed, party streamers in hand to pop everywhere.

“2025 feels so crazy to me,” will mumbled thinking about how the past year went and all of the ups and downs he faced. he was glad he was back on an up though—the mistakes he made this year definitely becoming ones he’d never make again.

“i know right. at the beginning of this year we were college students and now we’re pro athletes,” mack grinned, the noise maker hanging from his lips ready to be blown.

“it’s almost time!” blaire jumped around as the people on the tv started counting down from 60.

“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2..1..HAPPY NEW YEAR!” blaire popped both confetti streamers. mack and will jumped around with one another in excitement before bringing the girl into their circle.

they celebrated together for a few more minutes before coming down from the excitement. “aww happy new year. so glad i got to spend it with you guys,” blaire pinched will’s cheeks and then kissed mack.

the boys smiled and will pulled his phone out to text samy. she was definitely asleep by now, but he wanted to text her anyway. he looked back up at mack twirling blaire around in the confetti now on the ground, a smile gracing his lips at his friends.

“come here, i’ll spin you around too,” mack said to the blonde making both of them laugh.

will stuffed his phone away and quickly joined the couple where he let mack spin him around next to blaire.

hi! what would it be like to babysit Luke, with a teen Mc? like playing uno with him or getting him cotton candy... he reminds me too much of me as a toddler (⁠╯⁠_⁠╰⁠) i wanna brush his hair and put ribbons in it JDJDKDKF have a good day ❤️

TEEN!MC babysitting Luke

I personally think Teen!MC would give him so much freedom when they’re babysitting

Contains: Gn!MC, Female!MC, Male!MC, Emo!MC, no proof read, this is my first written post here on tumblr so mb if it’s bad

Bedtime? What’s that? /j, but I think they’d accidentally stay up playing uno or something if they didn’t plan on going out

Now, if Simeon gave them money to spend on “essentials”, you would need to define it bc Teen!MC is definitely going to buy Luke sweets and toys with the money to make him happy

Teen!MC probably would treat him like a younger brother, teasing him and play around, they’re both kids in a way, so ofc they’ll be childish in some aspects

I love thinking of Teen!MC making him play dress up just for the lols or tell him scary stories to make him do things, yk, like siblings do

Imagine the sugar rush…

Female!Teen!MC would teach him how to style hair and let him style her hair

He’d enjoy having his hair gently being cared for and decorated, tho might not admit it

Male!Teen!MC and him would be playing video games all day probably

Teen!MC and him would be baking and it will be most messy kitchen you would’ve seen

While writing these I thought about Emo!Teen!MC, Scene!Teen!MC and the likes, and how’d that be like

Since Luke is around 10 in mortal ages, he probably doesn’t have much of a good filter if he sees someone dressed like they’re the embodiment of Hot Topic (no offense to emos/scenes btw)

He’d be either very confused on why Emo/Scene!Teen!MC would wear all that or think you’re siding with the demons wearing skull shirts and all

Emo!Teen!MC would try not to laugh because they think it’s funny how a child, and an angel to add to the fact, reacted to what they were wearing

I hope you like it Anon! Sorry if it wasn’t what you wanted

[creepsopasta]

playing games with some pastas

includes; eyeless jack, jeff the killer, hoodie, masky, ticci toby, homicidal liu, kagekao

eyeless jack:

- bit of a sore loser. not good with games that make him rage or online games

- voice chat with him is crazy!! he is literally foaming at the mouth yelling and cursing he is so bad at games :(

- “jack it’s gonna be okay” “FUCK you”

- he is not very kind about his losses

- most likely ends up throwing the control at the tv and breaking it (bad ending)

- whenever he ends up winning he’s ecstatic he does not stop talking about it and will brag about it to you exclusively. just go with it okay he needs it for his already shattered ego

- 0/10 experience would not do again.. okay maybe he would if you talked him into it and told him how much of a great player he is

- “i AM awesome aren’t i???” “yes you are <3”

- the more you play together the more he’ll learn to calm the fuck down and just enjoy himself

- still rages a lot tho

jeff the killer:

- plays board games like candyland and twister

- he’s a fucking shark he’s got all this shit down he knows how to win

- anyone who gets paired up with him for game night is 85% guaranteed to win (unfortunately there is someone out there who’s better than him)

- gets PISSED over not winning twister fucking furious he is literally the most flexible guy in this house he can do so much with his body

- monopoly is his favorite game. he esp loves to play with the younger pastas bc they believe anything he says and he thinks it’s hilarious

- “NOOOO PLEASE DON’T TAKE MY HOUSE” “your rent is $500,000, sally… it’s my house now”

- not a very avid video game player. he never really played a lot tbh

- good at everything EXCEPT connect four. do not make him play connect four he hates it he has terrible memories of it

- mastermind strategy planner. it’s a shame he doesn’t think this much at any other time

- boasts about it big time if you lose (you will probably lose) but might even try to let you win on purpose if he feels bad or sees you’re upset

hoodie:

- more of an arcade game guy. if you’re looking for like pinball games or pacman or space invaders or maze games or those weird money machines (that he kind of just. steals from) then he’s like great at all of them

- has spent hours honing his skills in his free time so you’ll be grinding for a while if you wanna beat him

- all the highest scores on the arcade machines are his. no one has topped them bc they’re fucking insane

- “wow you really have nothing better to do huh” [takes out gun] “that’s enough out of you jack can’t even fuckin move the joysticks around”

- tries to act like he isn’t competitive about it but he really super is

- thinks it’s just adorable that you think you can defeat him. no he will not be humbled by his lover of all people… that would make him a weak man

- goddamn merciless. no favors for anyone he revels in the rage he causes (see jack for more)

- if you’re a beginner he’ll take it easy on you until you learn the ropes and will offer tips but as time goes on he’s gonna be looking for a fight

- if he’s ever beaten, he will take it in grace and go straight from denial to acceptance

- does not rage that often. just hardcore practices until he’s like fucking unstoppable

masky:

- card player :(

- hates go fish tho he has such bad luck with it and everyone makes fun of him bc it’s like the universe does not want him to win

- good at boring ass stuff like solitaire or blackjack and if you ask him if he can play anything funner he’ll be like “oh so like rummy or spoons :]”

- no masky not like rummy or spoons… like uno or fucking play with some goddamn pokémon cards

- he’s so enthusiastic about it though so cmon just indulge him alright.. he literally has nobody else around him who’s into cards

- “okay so i win” “what… but we just started”

- he plays chess too!!! maybe you’ll find that more interesting?? he’s not very in touch with board games or anything this is the best he’s got

- deadass makes up his own rules if you don’t know anything about the game you’re playing

- “yeah so now you have to eat a rat. sorry babe”

- is never going to make fun of you if you suck at cards it’s not like he can beat jack in video games

ticci toby:

- dnd enjoyer he loves being the dm especially

- he, you, jeff, hoodie, lj, and occasionally masky have game nights and all you guys do is sit around the kitchen table trying not to curse each other out for doing stupid shit

- “c’mon guys this is supposed to be fun :(”

- doesn’t know that most of you have no idea how to play so he makes it super difficult

- has had to REPEATEDLY glue the die back together because jeff cannot stop snapping it in half

- “why does your dumbass partner always win this is fucking favoritism” “and then jeffery fell off a building and into the ocean 🥰”

- teaches you all you need to know about the game he will sit there for hours if he needs to just talking about the complexity of the rules

- he seems to have a lot of fun with it so everyone tries their best to not break the pieces or punch masky or yell at each other or punch masky

- better with snacks and drinks and lots of breaks so everyone can calm down and at least try to find some joy in the game

- 6/10 experience. would only try again without jeff at the table

homicidal liu:

- among us player… pisses everybody off bc he’s unfortunately very good at it and always imposter

- absolutely kills it (pun intended)

- no mercy he kills everyone including his loved ones this is a battle to the death and he is going to win goddamnit

- being imposter with him is some of the easiest shit bc he will carry the team entirely

- nothing to brag about tho since it’s a little space game and it’s really easy

- always knows who the imposter is if it’s not him he’s got some kind of foresight he will go out of his way to sabotage their chances at winning

- “would you love me more… if i killed someone for you 😇😇” “but you killed ME liu” “whoops”

- will stay with you for most of the game so he has an excuse for being innocent. once you are of no use to him he will stab you in the back

- relatively tame over voice chat. unless his brother happens to be there then it’s just jeff getting pissed off bc he can’t activate the reactor

- wakes you up at 2 am, phone in hand, smile on his face, asking “do you wanna play among us?”

- “liu, shut the fuck up and go back to sleep.” “ok.. :((”

kagekao:

- great at those games you play in your yard like frisbee or tag or hide n seek or maybe darts

- since the bitch can fly and run really fast it’s very unfair he pretty much cheats at everything and he thinks it’s funny

- frisbee with him is a literal field day. throws it so far you can’t find it ever again you’ll just have to buy a whole ass new one

- “what the FUCK kagekao” “🤷”

- laughs and makes fun of you for just not being as skilled as him maybe if you could fly you could beat him just get off the ground dumbass

- also likes to race but we all know how that’s gonna go (hint: he wins)

- unless he’s up against candy pop or something no one else really has a chance at beating him

- might help you a little bit if you’re struggling. like that one time he carried you up into the air and then dropped you because he thought it would be funny but then he couldn’t catch you in time so you ended up falling on lj and breaking one of your arms

- wrote you a little heartfelt letter about it later with a very fancy “sorry ❤️” in calligraphy and a few drawings of flowers (it did not help. your arm was still broken)

- really bad sport does NOT like to lose he will completely shut down

- little fuckin bastard

Klonnie Weekend Day 3: Trapped

(Ight y'all stick with me. I provided pictures so that y'all could see my vision. This is a human au btw)

Bonnie and Klaus quickly rushed through the Salvatore mansion, looking for a quick place to hide. The cops had shown up to bust a party so everyone had to scatter before they even made it inside. Bonnie quickly snatched open the door to one of the many bedrooms and shut it. She turned the ceiling light off and opted to turn on a lamp instead. Klaus held in a laugh as he shook his head. He pressed his ear to the door, trying to see if they could hear any radio chatter. He assumed they were far enough away to be safe. They managed to make it up to the top floor and down to the end of the hall without drawing attention.

“Hear anything?” Bonnie whispered as he held his hand up. “I think we should be good.” Klaus smiled as he looked at her. She crossed her arms as she looked at him. Bonnie didn’t really want to come to the party but she let her boyfriend talk her into it. It was those damn blue eyes. She knew that parties at the Salvatore mansion got busted because the Salvatore’s lived in an uppity neighborhood. “Oh come on baby, It’s not like the cops caught us.” Klaus said as he wrapped his arms around her waist. “I know but I can hear the news now. ‘Mayor’s daughter busted at the infamous Salvatore party house.’ I really don’t want to hear my dad’s mouth about it either.” Bonnie pouted as she crossed her arms. 

“I know I know but I promised we wouldn’t get caught and we won’t” He grinned as he looked at her. He leaned in to press kisses to her lips, knowing that it always calmed her down. “Fine I guess.” She sighed against his lips before kissing back. He smiled into the kiss as he pulled her closer. She gently pushed away from him, shaking her head. “Nope, not while the cops are looking for people in obvious hiding spots.” She hummed before looking up at him. “Fine, fine, How about we find something to do in here.” Klaus said as he looked around the room for anything to do. He saw a closet in the corner and he opened it to see multiple board games hidden inside.  He pulled out a deck of uno cards before smirking at her. 

“Wanna get your ass kicked in Uno?” He hummed as he walked towards her and sat on the ground. “Fine, you’re on but be prepared to lose.” Bonnie shrugged as she looked at him. He began to pass the cards out between the two of them and he looked at his hand before looking at her. “Rules?” He asked as she looked at her hand as well. “Normal Uno, that means no stacking draw 2’s on top of draw 4’s” Bonnie said as Klaus pressed his hand to his chest. “You want to play the wrong way I see.” He said before letting her go first. 

After about an hour or so of playing Uno Bonnie let out a sigh before laying on her back. “I’m officially bored Klaus…what other games are there?” She asked as she looked over at him. He stood up and looked back at the closet before pulling out a few options. “There is The Game of Life, Monopoly, Azul, Scrabble-” Klaus started before she sat up and pointed at him. “Oooo bring scrabble! Also The Game of Life. I remember kicking ass in that game when I was younger.” Bonnie said as she sat up again. Klaus gave her a look before shaking his head and laughing. “What’s so funny, chuckles?” Bonnie asked as she crossed her arms. 

“Beating Grams in a board game when you were a kid doesn’t count as kicking ass. It was either let you win or deal with a pouty child.” Klaus teased as Bonnie pouted. “I will have you know that I was a very emotionally intelligent 8 year old and did not pout when I lost games.” She said, matter of factly. “Okay, we’ll play that first, since you wanna lose so bad.” Klaus smirked as he sat down with three different games in his hands. “Azul? What’s that?” She asked as she picked up the box. “It’s a really cool tile game. Elijah brought it home from his trip back home. He said he played it with our cousins and loved it.” Klaus said as he looked at her. “Plus we played a few rounds just the two of us and it was pretty nice.” He smiled before setting up the Game of Life.

After almost an hour of playing Klaus was far ahead of Bonnie. “I think you are cheating.” Bonnie said as she crossed her arms, “I am not. I just know how to prioritize.” He boasted as she rolled her eyes again. “That or cheating.” She repeated as he rolled his eyes playfully. “I’m sensing a lot of jealousy.” He teased before she threw a spare card at him. “Hey, you’re the one who sucks.” Klaus laughed before Bonnie grabbed the pieces and began to put them away. “Oops the board was ruined, guess we gotta start on a new game.” Bonnie shrugged as Klaus fell back with laughter. Once he finally calmed down he grabbed Azul and sat it between them. 

Bonnie was still confused after listening to Klaus explainthe rules, though she’d never admit it. She just nodded and looked at her board, assuming she’d understand it on her own. Once they started playing she started to understand more through watching him. He was clearly taking it easy on her and she wanted to play that to her advantage. After a while she began to easily win without him even noticing. “What does it mean when I cover all my patterns?” Bonnie asked in the fourth round before he looked at her dumbfounded. “What do you mean?” He asked before he looked at her board. Bonnie had managed to cover every square. “I guess  it means you’ve won.” Klaus smiled before leaning in to peck her lips.

“Granted it was because I was taking it easy on you, I will consider it a solid win.” He hummed before he leaned in and kissed her again. Bonnie heard the door open and she quickly pulled away, thinking it was the cops. She was fully prepared to explain that all they were doing was playing games before she was face to face with Stefan. “Oh…you two are still here?” He asked, completely confused. Most of the people from the party had managed to scatter, including Stefan. “Yeah? Why?” Klaus asked before he looked around. He could see the sun peeking through the curtains before Bonnie grabbed her phone and looked at the time. “Holy shit it's 7 am.” Bonnie said as she checked her missed calls and messages. Only a few from her friends but thankfully none from her father. Klaus quickly stood up and helped Bonnie up.

“We should be on our way then. Have fun Stef.” Klaus smiled as Stefan rolled his eyes and waved them off. Bonnie thanked her lucky stars that she still lived on campus. Klaus began to drive her to his place, wanting to change before they had to drive to meet her dad. “So, should we attempt to get at least an hour nap in before we get on the road or should we just get on the road?” He asked as Bonnie looked out the window. “We can afford a three hour nap but we have to be on the road by 11:30 and take the shortcuts to get to my dad’s place in time for lunch.” Bonnie mumbled as she closed her eyes to try and get some sleep now.

❝ PLAGUE DOCTOR ❞

FRIDAY — AUGUST 3 — 8:02PM

BENTLEY AND ASTEN DIDN’T TALK BESIDES A FEW SENTENCES OVER THE WEEK, ABOUT CLASS OR SCHOOLWORK OR SOMETHING EQUALLY BORING AND USELESS.

As weird as it sounded, Bentley was starting to get... used to it. He just… hung out with other people. He’d started talking more with Valor, and had gone back out into the city with Rockie just because they felt like going to Times Square. He’d been getting steadily better at soccer and closer with Varian and Koa, and Bellamy was starting to open up more, to talk when other roommates were around, to come out of his room even when Bentley wasn’t there.

He’d gone to get ice cream with Vera and Layla again, had helped Summer hang posters and banners for some kind of name drawing thing (which took them until like, midnight), and texted Chloe a lot, even if she didn’t talk to him in person much besides early mornings and late nights.

He hadn’t heard from his father, he hadn’t had any more breakdowns or bad dreams, he’d spoken to a Wayne every day about nothing important, and everything was… good. Even now, on a Friday night at almost eight, everything was quiet, and normal.

But he guessed it all could’ve been a little better, had a fundamental piece of the puzzle not been missing. (As in a blue-haired Brazilian who’d literally almost died by Bentley’s side way too many times for a lie to ruin their friendship.)

“-no, yeah, Jackson’s whole dorm has, like, the plague. He’s texting me about it right now. Sounds rough,” Varian trailed off. He, Koa, Valor, Bellamy, and Bentley were sitting at the dining table, playing a mean game of uno. Valor was winning. (Bentley may or may not have had about an entire deck of cards in his hand, courtesy of sitting next to Koa, who had absolutely no mercy.)

“Didn’t I see you frolicking around at their breakfast table this morning?” Valor questioned with a snicker, laying a card down, and Varian shrugged.

“Nah. My immune system is so terrible that sometimes it has pity on me and keeps me from getting sick,” He muttered, laying one on top of Valor's. “I’ll be fine.”

“Speaking of sick,” Koa piped up, laying a card down on his turn. Bentley drew four. “I haven’t seen Rockie or Asten since dinner. Where are they?”

Bentley glanced up from his hand of cards, to Valor, who was the most likely one to know the answer to that. Unsurprisingly, he simply shrugged. “Rockie said he wasn’t feeling good. I don’t know about Asten.”

Koa groaned. “Oh, Jesus, we have the plague already.”

Varian held his hands up. “Wasn’t me!”

“He’s not sick,” Valor continued. Everyone sort of waited for him to elaborate on that statement, but he never did, just waited for them to keep playing. So eventually they just… let it go.

Bentley put a card down, and Bellamy did right after.

“Was Asten feeling okay?” Varian questioned, glancing over at Bentley. He shrugged lightly, and thought about making an offhand comment on Asten's current vanished status, but decided to just settle on:

“I dunno,”

Varian then looked over at Valor, who also shrugged. “I have no idea. Uno.”

“Me, either,”

“I don’t think Asten’s here,”

Everyone glanced down to the end of the table, where Bellamy was looking back at them. He seemed to shrink a little under all the eyes, but he didn't get up and move, or apologize, which was a good improvement in Bentley's book.

“What do you mean?” Valor questioned, leaning forward slightly.

Bellamy's brown eyes flicked vaguely toward the door. “I saw him leave right when we got back from dinner. I don’t think anyone was really paying attention.”

Bentley glanced down at the table, at his cards.

Asten was really into utilizing his newfound freedom, wasn’t he? Just up and leaving midday with none of his roommates and no heads-up for anyone?

Valor hummed. “That's odd.”

Another moment of quiet passed, and Varian laid a card down, then Koa, then Bentley and Bellamy. When Valor's turn came around, he put his final card atop the deck to declare himself winner with an abrupt: “I’ll be back later.”

Then he stood up, grabbed a hoodie, and left the dorm without much more than a split-second glance back.

Bentley wondered if he was going to look for Asten.

“Yeah, I think I’m over getting absolutely annihilated repeatedly,” Koa sighed, placing his cards down on the table. “I have homework, and Sunday night me is going to be pissed if I don’t do it now.”

Varian gave him a sarcastic round of applause. “How mature of you!”

“Don’t get used to it,”

Bentley chuckled lightly, gathering up the cards as they dispersed from the table and stacking them to put them back in the box.

“I’m glad we stopped, I was losing so hard,” He muttered, and Bellamy snickered at him, sliding his hand of cards across the table toward the box.

“I was close to winning,”

Bentley glanced up at him. “Of course you were, just like you won the three games before that.”

“Luck of the draw,” Bellamy shrugged.

Bentley shoved the cards in the box and folded it up. “Literally.”

It was quiet for another moment, and they heard Varian and Koa bickering in the background for a few seconds before Koa emerged from his bedroom, settling on one of the couches with a binder. Varian came out and plopped down on the other couch.

Bentley glanced down the table at Bellamy, who was sitting quietly. "I'm proud of you."

Bellamy glanced up at him, and a confused look crossed his features. "Why?"

"Because you've been doing so well with the other roommates," Bentley replied. "It's great. I know firsthand that it helps when you know other people can see the effort."

Bellamy smiled lightly, his eyes trailing down to the tabletop. He opened his mouth, but his soft words were drowned out when something loud and pulsing invaded Bentley's ears. A heartbeat; quick, and hard, like someone was running.

He glanced between all three of his visible roommates in quick succession, even if he knew it probably wasn’t them. Sure enough, one by one, they checked out, Varian, Koa, and Bellamy, their pulses calm and even. It was unsurprising to find that the pounding was coming from behind a closed door.

Rockie and Valor’s closed door.

Bentley zoned back in, and Bellamy was looking at him curiously.

“Sorry, what?”

“Oh. I just said thank you,” Bellamy replied, creasing his brow. “What did you hear?”

Bentley glanced up at the bedroom door across the way. “Rockie’s heartbeat. It’s fast.”

Bellamy glanced back at the door as if it would magically open so he could see in. “Maybe you should go check on him.”

Bentley glanced at him, then at the bedroom door again, a few moments of silent contemplation passing between both of them. Valor said Rockie wasn’t feeling good, but that he also wasn’t sick. What did that even mean?

Despite the lingering question, Bentley stood anyhow, making his way around the table. He ruffled Bellamy’s hair on the way by, which, a few short weeks ago, wouldn’t have gotten panic in response, but today, earned him a little smile.

He made his way to Rockie’s door and, checking the pulse one last time (no change), knocked softly. “Rockie? It’s Bentley.”

A moment passed where Varian and Koa glanced over at him, then between each other. Bentley glanced back at Bellamy, who looked back at him, all four of them waiting for a response that never came. The pulse remained unchanged, a repetitive bam, bam, bam in Bentley’s skull.

He knocked again. “Rockie?”

Again, no response. Nothing to suggest his voice or knocking had been heard in the slightest.

With a glance over to Koa, who was watching again, Bentley shrugged. Then he turned the knob and pushed Rockie’s bedroom door open in the slightest.

It was dark in the room. The blackout curtains were pulled tight even against the darkness of nighttime, and the bathroom lights were on, but the door was closed, only letting in the faintest sliver of dim light. Bentley might’ve guessed Rockie was in the bathroom, if it weren’t for the curled up figure that kept shifting uncomfortably on the bottom bunk.

Bentley stepped in farther, and when he did, he was met by the smell of sterile cleaner that reminded him of a hospital and made his nose crinkle. He closed the door softly behind him.

As his eyes continued to adjust to the darkness, the figure on the bed became clearer — it was definitely Rockie. He was laying on the edge of his mattress, knees tucked up tight and arms wrapped around himself, trembling slightly on top of his covers. Trembling, Bentley noticed, not shivering -- less of an off and on movement that came with the cold and more of a constant… vibration, almost? His eyebrows were pitched inward slightly, his eyes and face twitching every now and then like he was having a bad dream.

Bentley stepped forward slowly. “Hey, Rockie?”

Of course, he went unheard. Bentley took another grueling step forward, and the closer he got, the more he heard Rockie’s soft but undeniably ragged, uneven breaths. It wasn’t terrified thrashing or screaming like Bentley and Bellamy were accustomed to, it was just… he didn't know. Really calm, in a weird way. He wasn’t sure he’d ever seen anyone so calm during a bad dream. That was what was happening, right? What else would it be?

Nevertheless, he inched forward again, closer to the bed. “Rockie?”

Waking him up was way easier than Bentley thought it would be. He didn’t have to shake him or tap him or raise his voice like everyone did for him — Rockie’s green eyes just flicked open at the simple mutter of his name, breath hitching in his throat with a nearly inaudible, sharp inhale.

Despite his startling calmness, Bentley took notice of the shininess that quickly gathered at the bottom of his eyes.

“Hey, Rockie. Just me…” Bentley trailed off, taking another tentative step forward, fiddling with the ends of his sleeves. “Valor said you weren’t feeling good, so I was just coming to check on you…”

Rockie’s dull eyes focused on him, then flicked around the room as though he was gathering his bearings. Then he sighed lightly, curling up tighter like he was uncomfortable, blinking a few times until there was no sign of the previous wetness. He swallowed and let his eyes fall shut again. “Thanks, Bentley. I’m okay.”

With a frown, Bentley slowly reached forward and rested a tentative hand on his forehead. The older boy just smiled faintly in this almost half-aware, half-asleep kind of way. “Don't have a fever.”

Bentley drew his hand back.

“My meds like to screw with me,” He mumbled with a strange movement that was probably meant to be a shrug, not even opening his eyes. “But it’s fine.”

Bentley cringed to himself, glancing at the cleaning supplies that were stationed haphazardly outside of their bathroom door. “Your medicine makes you sick?”

Bentley understood side effects like feeling nauseous if you didn’t eat food with certain medicines, but a pill that put him on bed arrest seemed kinda… unnecessary?

Rockie hummed into his pillow, obviously only half-present. “When it pleases.”

Bentley was quiet for a short minute. “Is there anything you want or… need?”

Rockie’s eyes fluttered open, bouncing around the room a little in contemplation before drifting closed again. “S’ Valor here?”

“...No, he left just a few minutes ago,” Bentley replied sheepishly. “Sorry.”

For a minute, after that, Rockie didn’t say anything. Bentley might’ve thought he was asleep if it weren’t for the contemplative look on his face. After a moment, he swallowed thickly, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down. Another vague look of discomfort crossed his features. “Then I guess not.”

While Bentley couldn’t see it, his powers (a blessing and sometimes a curse, too.) allowed him to feel the vague tears that built at the corners of Rockie’s eyes. Did he need Valor that bad? Because Bentley would run across campus to find him. It wouldn’t be hard, he had giant white wings!

“If there’s something you need me to do… I can do it,” Bentley continued softly (because he couldn’t just tell Rockie hey, I can feel your tears, because I’m creepy.) 

Rockie just sort of shook his head and didn’t open his eyes.

“No, it’s okay… I can text you if I need you,” He replied cooly, turning his head into his pillow in a clever way so Bentley couldn’t really see his face anymore.

Bentley just sort of nodded even though he was hesitant to leave. He just kind of stood there for a minute, and in his drowsy state, Rockie didn’t seem to mind. He just laid there.

But Bentley assumed he should talk again before he fell asleep if he was going to, so he continued, softly: “Do you want me to stay?”

A moment of hesitation hung in the air, like Rockie wanted to say yes. But then he swallowed again, and adjusted his head on his pillow. “No, it's okay.”

Bentley bit his lip. “Are you sure?” 

“Mm. I’m just gonna sleep,” He replied. Then he opened his mouth to say something else, but decided against it. “Thanks… Bentley.”

“No problem…” Bentley replied, as he began to move for the door. “Text me if you need me, okay?”

“I will,”

So with that, he left and closed the door softly behind him, keeping his phone ringer on and the screen in his sightline until further notice.

He pretended he didn’t feel the stubborn one or two tears that fell down Rockie’s face a few moments after he left.

--

It was midnight, and Valor wasn't back.

Neither was Asten.

Bentley would be lying if he said he wasn’t anxious. But, since Asten was clearly so tough and capable and experienced that he could just vanish on his own without telling anybody, he obviously had no reason to worry.

But he did anyway. Because it was Asten; and it was basically Bentley’s full-time job to worry about him, even if they weren’t talking.

Rockie hadn’t texted him since he’d checked on him earlier, but he kept his phone turned up and sitting next to his pillow anyways. He’d checked on him once more about an hour and a half ago, but he looked to be asleep, so Bentley didn’t bother him.

It was about twenty minutes past midnight when Bentley’s phone did chime. He was quick to look at it, but the name on the screen was Chloe, not Rockie.

He opened the text and quickly scanned it.

Well, me and my roommates are all officially dying.

Bentley scrunched his face up, typing back a quick: what?

The bubonic plague that’s going around has struck. She texted back. It’s so annoying. It’s ultra contagious so they won’t let us leave the dorm. The nurse had to come to us this morning.

Bentley cringed to himself. I’m sorry, was his message back. That must’ve been the same plague that Varian was talking about one of his friends having. 

Her text: It’s fine, I get time to binge watch netflix. Are you guys uninfected? Came in a moment later.

Yeah, thankfully, He replied. 

Make sure to wear your plague doctor mask to class, she typed. And send me a selfie, too.

Bentley smiled to himself. I’d rather be caught dead than wear one of those.

She sent back an amused message of: Oh don’t worry, you will! With a funny gif of someone dressed completely as a plague doctor dancing.

Bentley found himself smiling in amusement at the screen. And a second later, she sent another text.

Anyways, I was just letting you know since you were around me. The nurse prescribed me an unholy amount of sleep, so I’m gonna try and do that. Keyword, try.

Bentley snickered lightly to himself. I guess I should, too. He sent back.

Goodnight, Bentley :)

Goodnight.

The text thread went offline, and a few moments later, he laid his phone back down next to his head.

Well, whatever sickness they had obviously wasn’t that bad, or Chloe wouldn’t have been texting back so well. Or planning to have a netflix marathon.

About three seconds into his contemplations, his phone dinged again.

When he checked, it was Valor's name shining on the lockscreen, along with the text: Hey, you awake?

Bentley exhaled heavily, reaching over and typing: yeah. What’s up?

Valor’s typing bubbles popped up and disappeared a few times, and it only worked to make Bentley more anxious. He’d left after they mentioned Asten, which probably meant he was looking for, or maybe even found him. And lots of typing bubbles meant a long text. And long texts were usually bad texts. Was this a bad text about Asten?

Do me a favor and check on Rockie? He told me you went in earlier. Was Valor’s mysterious terrible text that… didn’t end up being so terrible. Then another came in quickly after. He usually has nightmares when he feels bad. They’re rough sometimes.

Bentley blew out a sigh of relief and texted back: Yeah, I’ll go check on him.

Valor’s bubbles bounced at the corner of the screen for a while before the next message, Thanks, I shouldn’t be much longer, popped up.

You’re welcome, was what Bentley sent back.

Then, with a soft sigh, he pushed himself up out of his bed, rubbing his eyes lightly. He flicked the bedroom lamp on and sent a glance to Asten’s bunk, as if he’d magically appear there just because Bentley wanted him to. 

He didn’t.

Nonetheless, Bentley swung his bedroom door open, stepping out into the dim living area. Varian was the only one out there, and only one lamp was on. He was asleep on the couch with a laptop open on the table like he’d been watching something.

Bentley closed his bedroom door softly and tiptoed over toward Rockie’s, his footfalls almost dead silent in an attempt not to wake Varian. He thought about knocking, but wouldn’t that just risk waking both Varian and Rockie? 

So he opened Rockie’s door just a few inches, peeking inside at the bottom bunk.

It was empty.

With an exhale, Bentley pushed the door open just enough to slide himself through, then closed it behind him. Rockie wasn’t in the bed, which meant he was in the bathroom. Unless he’d taken an impromptu trip out like Asten. Or leaped out of his window. (Given they were on the sixth floor, probably not.)

But the bathroom light was on, and the door was closed, and the fan was running, which probably meant he was in there.

Bentley stepped up to the door and, after a second, knocked lightly. “Rockie? You okay?”

Five seconds passed, then ten. No reply.

“Rockie?”

Bentley went unheard. He tried to twist the door handle, and it moved freely. Was it really his place to go barging in? Valor had asked him to check…

With a cringe, mostly because he didn’t want to make Rockie upset if he didn’t want him in there, he continued: “I’m… gonna come in, okay?”

Nothing.

Bentley pushed the door open.

It thudded softly against something when it was only about halfway open, and when Bentley looked down to check what it was, it ended up being Rockie’s foot. He was curled up on the bathroom floor on top of what looked like a thin, black throw blanket, legs tucked up and arms wound around himself just like he had been in his bed. He looked like he was asleep, the same vague discomfort splayed across his features that had been earlier.

When the door nudged his foot, his frown deepened, and he pulled his legs in tighter.

“Rockie? You awake?” Bentley asked softly. He waited for an answer, but it ever came, and he never opened his eyes.

 Bentley sighed and pulled his phone out, shooting a text to Chloe that said: Still awake?

Not ten seconds later, he got one that said: Yeah. I just found say yes to the dress on my computer so I think sleeping tonight is a no. Thought you were trying to go to bed?

Sick roommate, Bentley replied. What does the bubonic high school plague entail?

Chloe’s typing bubbles popped up off and on for a few moments, before a text came: Well, it started with just feeling gross, then came all the stupid symptoms. I’d say the worst ones are the like sun-level fevers and throwing up every three milliseconds. But there’s also just weird random stuff like muscle cramps and burning and stuff, which I can honestly say is a first for me while sick. You think your roommate has it?

Bentley glanced up at Rockie. While he looked extraordinarily uncomfortable, he didn’t exactly look sick. Bentley moved to the other end of the bathroom as quietly as he could, crouching down and gently resting the back of his fingers against Rockie’s forehead. He shifted a little under the touch, but didn’t stir fully.

He doesn’t have a fever, Bentley typed back to Chloe. Just checking. Thanks.

No prob.

Bentley sighed lightly, his eyes lingering on Rockie’s limp form. He wished he could help, but he wasn’t exactly sure what to do about sickness caused by medicine. He remembered Tim complaining about the fact that he couldn’t mix a lot of pain meds and stuff with Fluoxetine, so he didn’t really… have anything else he could offer up. Except for himself, but Rockie had said he didn’t want him to stay earlier. So…

Rockie suddenly made a quiet noise, almost a whimper of sorts. Bentley glanced down at him, and he was coiling up tighter, brows furrowed. Bentley could hear the accelerating bu-dump of his heartbeat.

He reached out to rest a gentle hand on his shoulder, and-

There was a flash, and a searing, stabbing pain ripped through Bentley’s head. He was falling, and falling, and WHAM! He hit the floor with a thud that sent a deep pain shooting through every bone in his body.

He groaned lightly. What the hell?

He peeled his eyes open and glanced around. Instead of Rockie’s bathroom, he was in… a long, white hallway? Lined with doors, with dim lights that flickered every now and then? It was cold, and when he looked down at himself, he was in a hospital gown with no socks or shoes.

Where…

Suddenly, a muffled: bang, bang, bang, bang, bang sounded from the other end of the long, dark hall, and Bentley’s head snapped up in that direction. It was just… long. And dim. And empty.

Bentley pushed himself off of the cold white floor and glanced both directions down the hall. They seemed to be endless, so long it made him kinda dizzy, with flickering lights here and there. There were so many doors he couldn’t even begin to count them all.

The banging came from the opposite direction it had before, and he whipped around that way, greeted by nothing but emptiness.

And suddenly, the entire hallway went pitch black.

And a second later, one light, all the way at the end, flicked on.

And she was standing there.

Bentley felt the moment his soul nearly left his body, going absolutely rigid, unable to move, unable to breathe like all of the air was sucked right out of his lungs by a force he couldn’t see. All coherent thought screeched to a halt, and he heard, felt his heartbeat slamming in his ears. Panic clawed it's way up his throat, and all of his senses fired at once — he wanted to run, he wanted to scream, he wanted to start crying, he wanted to kill her, he wanted to scream in her face, he wanted to get out of here, he wanted to go home.

He couldn’t think enough to react. He just stood there. 

And she just stared at him, with her glowing amber eyes, with her bloody stitched-together smile, with her stringy platinum hair that was more of a brown and crimson mix now than anything. 

And finally, she lifted a hand. And she waved.

“Miss me, Babybird?”

[watchingblsnowandforever]

My (mostly regularly) updated GMMTV 2025 lineup in order of my preference: (they understood the assignment and kept only 1.5 het shows so my work is easier)

Cat for Cash: I am looking forward to this so much you have no idea. FirstKhao in a series with only fluff and found family? A literal dream come true, honestly.

Me and Thee: UNO reverse NLMG meets KinnPorsche with PondPhuwin? Consider me SEATED. I am absolutely here for this and this will become my entire personality. This is your warning <3

A Dog and A Plane: The name could use some work but it seems promising. I have a soft spot for TayNew and just getting off the high of Peaceful Property, and they have never disappointed me. The premise is a little eyebrow-raising, but it's just the pilot so lot of time for fine tuning. Also- MarcPoon.

Ticket to Heaven: This is in between Excited and Hopeful because I absolutely adore GemFourth, and they are brilliant actors, especially Fourth, but no angst for me, thanks. I do understand religious guilt, but I'm not Catholic and I didn't grow up very religious (I mean don't get me wrong my mom is super religious but my dad is agnostic at best so I grew up in this weird middle ground and now I don't believe in God, not really. As it is, my religion is polytheistic.) So I can't wait to see this but I'm also gonna gently poke at it like it's a wild bear first.

Dare You to Death: I love a good mystery, but that's not what drew me to this. JoongDunk did. From a switch in their dynamics in THK to a switch back, this got me hooked. And as I said: mystery.

Whale Store xoxo: cute slice of life fluff with MilkLove? YES. I am a tiny bit weary though, since the last time I was so excited for a MilkLove series, it turned out... well. Not as I'd expected. I still am hopeful, though.

That Summer: WinnySatang? In a Disney BL. Hmm. I wanna see how this turns out, especially for the side couple. Generally speaking, I am not a fan of the amnesia trope (they have three of those lined up like. why.) but I might just like this.

Memoir of Rati: GreatInn? In a historical BL/ period drama?...go on.

My Romance Scammer: Gay rights and gay wrongs all in one place. Need I say more?

Boys in Love: True high school fluff is what I live for. Okay, maybe not entirely true, but I really did like the trailer, and I do love my fluff.

My Magic Prophecy: Someone in GMMTV watched Agatha All Along, and used the theme of tarot cards and fortune telling to cope with Lillia's death. Jokes aside, I like JimmySea and Jimmy playing a doctor is just so funny to me, I might just watch it for the irony. And also, they deserve better after Last Twilight (why, P'Aof.)

Burnout: I will watch this if not for anything else, then the Not Me nostalgia. And Gun in black lipstick and a lip ring. I might stop after a few eps to wait out until it finishes airing though, cause Love Triangle is definitely not for me.

Mu-Te-Luv: Fortune telling, fate, tarots, blah blah blah. Some het, some queer, I'll see which ones I watch (hint: won't be the het ones). Gives me 7 Project vibes, honestly.

Head 2 Head: What in the Bad Buddy. For anyone who hasn't watched the trailers: this is a Bad Buddy rip off, but the parents want them to get along, and one of them has a weird clairvoyant thing going on. Oh, and everyone is studying fashion designing. And the side couple is exes to lovers.

Girl Rules: I see messy lesbians and bisexuals, but I also hear misogyny and patriarchy. Only Friends GL version. I didn't really like Only Friends so-

Only Friends: Dream On: Maybe.

Wu: I have no idea what this is, but it kinda intrigued me. Little bit.

Love You Teacher: Um.

Melody of Secrets: Horror or psychological thriller is not really my thing so I will mostly be ignoring this unless I find something that piques my interest.

[icravehybernate]

Hiiiii I love your blog 🥹 it has good vibes 🌥️

How do you fast around ur partner? How do you hide it? I want to fast more but I’m scared my partner will see and I don’t want them to worry 😣

We usually spend most of the day apart and I’ve gotten away with avoiding breakfast cuz I told him it makes me nauseous but they pack my lunch and I feel so bad throwing it away so I always eat it and I enjoy eating together at dinner so idk how to eat less or not eat but also not make them worry😭

I think I need motivation to throw my lunch away and also to eat less at dinner, what’s worked for you?

Omg hii! I'm so glad you love it so much. I'd love to be moots if you wanna!

I am the QUEEN of making excuses. A lot of "I don't feel too well" and "i'm just going to go take a nap." Also a lot of distractions. "Hey, I think we should consider reorganizing your bathroom!" or "Let's play a few rounds of Uno! I bet I'll win like always!" Or going places for a long time without bringing any food. Like long walks, or to the mall (i'm already a picky eater, so eating out in public isn't something I do often at all.)

If you feel bad throwing away lunches, maybe consider telling them you want to try a new diet. Say gluten/heavy carbs make you feel bland, and you'd like veggies or egg whites or other low cal things high in protein to be the bulk of your lunch. Then just eat some of it, and toss the rest. Or you could always find ways to give your lunch to someone you know needs it!

I think I get by easily, because I lose my appetite often since I'm chronically ill. So they're just already used to this behaviour from me, but in a different context. Hopefully some of these tips are helpful though!
